besides the fact that I would like a bit of a discount, the price at this moment is a bit inflated with shallow sell's on Cryptsy. so this is actually closer to the real value as of today, maybe even a little high. Good time for people who want an exit to sell to me...

How does a big buy order drive the price down? That would mean big sell walls drive price up? And I would like to hear exactly what or who determines that the price is inflated or otherwise. What, exactly SHOULD the price be? Is there a formula for that? I believe the price of every currency, crypto and fiat, is purely speculative and based on perception as none have any intrinsic value.

Seriously?? re-read the posts... I said I want a discount for an order that large, If I place a BUY order lower than the going price, and the sell walls are to shallow then people will tend to sell into my BUY wall and thus dropping the value at that moment...

The price of any currency is what the market dictates. and at this moment, the value is being pumped slightly by little sell walls.

All Coins including BTC are still only functioning as commodities, like gold or silver.

In the field of economics, the commodity value of a good is its free market intrinsic value under optimal use conditions. In a free market, the commodity value of a good will be reflected by its price. For example, if an acre of land can yield a net of 100 dollars loss by lying fallow, 50 dollars gain by being planted with corn, and 100 dollars gain by being planted with wheat, then that acre's commodity value is 100 dollars; the farmer is assumed to put his land to best use.

And 1 additional is mining capacity, Tekcoin PoS is the most economical way to mine more tekcoins, so that adds value.

True Market Price will be determined as time moves forward and we can better calculate tek usage per each available option.

FYI:Tek does have a strong community support behind it, so odds are high it will weather the highs & lows of speculation until its true value can be calculated. Plus is that not the reason most are in crypto to buy as much crypto as possible now for as cheaply as possible and then sell later for a Staggering Profit.

I guess by intrinsic value I meant quantified. Be it in USD, sea urchin shells, or whatever. Sell walls ought to increase supply and, therefore, lower price. And vice versa for buy walls. This is what got my investments in such trouble. In the crypto market this basic fundamental does not hold because of rampant speculation. That does not even account for short term wall bluffs. I would still be interested to learn how it is determined whether the coin is over-valued or under-valued. I believe that the right price for anything at a given moment in time is what two parties willingly trade it for at that moment in time. A gun to the head or starvation, of course, can drastically affect a "fair market value".Also, the corollary to the idea that a big sell wall raises the price is that I could put a big sell wall for higher than current price and I would get it and that I could then put up a big buy wall at a lower price and I would succeed in that too. Soon, all the TEKcoins would be mine.

BTC took a huge hit, and the fourtunes of TEK always seem to ride that wave. That's what it is, a guess, but I think it fairly accurate.

EVERYTHING is down right now, everything. Its a buyers market. Enjoy the low prices on everything!

I want to make sure everyone knows that I just released my software called "Yobit pump alert". THis is custom software that uses an algo to detect the start of a pump here on yobit, the second it starts. YOu can even filter the coins you see by price. Most pumps start less than 100 sats , so you can easily filter the cheap coins, so they are the only ones displayed https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1945937.msg20241953#msg20241953

So i just fired up my Tek wallet (v2.2.1.0-gf96a5a-TEK. ) for 1st time in like 3 weeks. figured i let coins age a little as they werent mature. And holy crap! I had 11 orphans come in (like 200% of my balance) then 5 accepted stakes ( about 50% of my balance). just wondering is that normal? doesnt seem so. Not complaining about 50% mind you,just curious to know if latest wallet version would make any diff? Was a bummer to see so many orphans in a row.

Bitcoin...the future of all monetary transactions...and always will be

I don't know if it's coincidence or not, but I got less orphans with the newest wallet than I did before. But if you do get them, just run repairwallet and it'll clear them out and you'll be able to stake the mature coins again.

Orphaning a block doesn't consume age so it may be you orphaned some of the same block(s) repeatedly. Are you sure you were fully synced before you started staking?
